Brightwell Salt.

[eggiel]

I second that have seen more people having diffrent parameters using bags than buckets

I always think is that the salt is not mix well before packing and more quality control issue

anyway lets see what other try out mixing BS salt
and just if you didnt see it in my post

Boomer I never ment to offend you or others

thank you

Read the hole post you see how people come at people and then you tell me if this is a family friendly forum
this goes round and round

And Iam posting like an adult
there just some people that dont understand and just try to batch you cause they think superiors always have the reason

Its all I got to say

If there's posts that are out of line, you should report them. We can't possibly read them all.

IMO, more tact is needed when posting on BB's as a lot of things don't carry over in print.

Got it
I just think reporting is for childs

People just have to repect others peoples decision and
Respect to get respected

But everything is cool between me and Boomer
its just some kids trying to make fire without matches

Be warned! We have had one staff member and one moderator speak their peace. We all know what is coming next.

I like all the information coming out of the discussion. Debate is what educates everyone in the Chemistry Forum. This Forum is SPECIAL, in that our goal here is to keep posts to the scientific facts as much as possible given what is available in this hobby.

 

[eggiel]

+1 as it all goes with respect to others opinion

No, it helps us keep peace, most of the time.

That would be great, but unfortunately the anonymity of the internet makes people say things they'd never say face to face. (Well I hope not)

Man `O Man, every time Jon is gone we get these arguments. I'll moderate the forum for the next couple of days, please keep it civil folks. This is a science forum and we deal in facts, and not personal attacks nor conjecture.

Yes, the elements are heavier but there is more to it than that, as in particle size. Large particles like to work their way to the top, "Brazilian Nut Theory". One should always find a way to mix the dry salt unless you are using it all at once. And difference in moisture in the bag/bucket also palys a roll if not mixed.

Boomer

Wow! I tried to mix a bucket of salt what a p.i.t.a.
Half of the fines in the salt blow off in the air. Will you loose certain trace elements by doing that?

Also I had to do it on a humid day and all the salt started to clump up, from the moisture in the air. I don't know if element are going to precipitate?

What I did was emptied one bucket into 2 other empty buckets then poured a scoop from one and a scoop from the other back to the original bucket. I f any one has a better idea please let us know?


Thanks

Kevin

It is called "Rolling" the bucket on the floor Then stand it on end, on both the top and bottom and give it a bang on the floor and roll it some more. Doing this a couple of times is good enough, unless you have a giant paint shaker However, you are best off having a half bucket and just shake and tumble it for 1 min or so or roll it like above.

I did know it was going to be that easy. To shake the bucket on the opposite end and then rolling it around is no problem.
Although will the salt still move around when the bucket is full as its packed tightly in a plastic bag?


I might add be careful with buckets that have plastic handles all the way around one snaped on me going up a set of stairs.
I think I am going to purchase a salt that has steel handle.


Thanks

The the bag out of the bucket and pour the salt in the bucket. You do not need that bag anymore.

Will that make it more prone for humidity to get to the salt?

Thanks again I think you just saved my back

I don't keep any plastic bags in my buckets of salt. the bucket lid does a pretty good job keeping it sealed.

 

[eggiel]

Kevin or just divided like you normally do in 2 buckets and shake it individauly like Boomer says and then you add them up

Thats how i do it and make sure my parameters are solid in line

 

[Boomer]

Kev if you are worried about a poor seal and moisture just cover the open bucket with a piece of Saran- wrap and put the lib back on.

Thanks every one for your help!
It was great info!

Thanks again
